Hear what clergy are saying about Kindling
Testimonials
“This is probably the best course I have ever been on, and I feel like I have grown in confidence and been able to share worries and doubts with others, which has helped me to believe growth will happen, and my vision will start to emerge.”
“Thank you for your kindness and generosity sharing with us…your ethos is outstanding. Thank you for centering our thinking around the unusual kindness of Jesus and representing him well. I have already recommended The Kindling Network to a friend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you”
“The team at St Michael’s were spirit filled and deeply prayerful. Their openness and honesty were hugely refreshing from a church training perspective - they walk the walk!”
“It hasn't mimicked other Christian courses or secular business models. I will certainly be recommending this to my colleagues and it will be a part of a discussion and debrief I will be having with my Archdeacon going forwards."
“[Kindling shows that] it is, in the right circumstances, possible for clerics from very different backgrounds to get along well - not something I have experienced in all my years of ministry.”
“I found it particular helpful in identifying "Blockers", the things that may have made me cautious or have stopped myself and my church moving forward in aspects of mission and potential growth.”
“I think what might be underestimated is the networking opportunity: both with my colleagues on the Kindling experience and with the many people who are part of the church and clearly support it. Outside of the Kindling leadership there are many others willing to chat and give their own input. Amongst those of us who are now a part of Kindling, there is now a network we share to offer prayerful support and practical guidance”
